HP2000/Access - benchmarks

Mike wrote.... benchmarks. HP was kind enough to give us times for a number of other systems, but Access was not around when these numbers were published. I guess we should know which CPU type your Main is too. BTEST ran in 1 Min 37.5 sec FPTS9 ran in 1 Min 23.1 sec Main CPU is a 2100A w/32K core However.... I'm wondering how they got the timings listed in the source comments? The TIM(0) function only prints minutes. This isn't helpful. So I used a stopwatch, and timed from the "Start" message to the "Stop" message. I could have changed the code to do this, but didn't want to change anything that might effect the timing. Access supports TIM(4), but according to my pocket guide F does not. I'm not sure if "different" code in the OS (the TIM function) would have any bearing on results. Also interesting - in a stack of papers I got from my high school years ago, there was a benchmark printout that was run on two identical systems with the exception that one was 2100A (Forest Park Community College), the other was 21MX-M (St. Louis University High School). The difference wasn't HUGE, but it was pretty noticeable. I suspect the 21MX-E would be even moreso, and plus you have the option of several different types & speeds of memory. Hopefully we can find out! Anywho... that's the scoop! Jay West
